“Stop denying the link between the Child Support Agency and suicide. I can give you names”

When I catch up with Barry Williams, National President of Lone Fathers Association of Australia, he’s just come off a challenging call. This is, of course, nothing new to him or his organisation, but since he appeared on A Current Affair (ACA) recently talking about family law reform, the phone has been ringing non-stop.

“I’ve been getting a lot of calls from mothers who are trying to get information to help their sons,” he tells me. “Often these people are so frustrated they can’t help themselves so their mum – or even grandmother - will step in and try to help.

“This morning a woman called whose son is in pieces. He has a young child with his ex and has been the primary carer. The mother took off when the child was very young and has only been visiting once a month”.

“But they had no court orders in place. They didn’t go to court because of the expense. He was happy taking care of the child so it seemed to be working. Until the last visit, that is. She took off with the child. He’s heard nothing. She took no clothes, no bottle, none of the child’s favourite toys. The worried father is sick with worry. I tried to explain that even if they get legal aid and get access to a lawyer nothing will happen quickly. I know that’s not what they want to hear, but it’s the truth. Our phones have been non-stop since ACA. Right across the country, people need help with family law issues.”

On children’s rights:

“The rights of children have been abolished in Australia,” says Williams. “Often court writers will only listen to one side of a story. They don’t listen to the other side, and they don’t even bother to listen to the children. Why aren’t they asking the children what they want? It’s outrageous.”

To Human Services Minister (Alan Tudge):

Williams continues: “I keep hearing it – stop saying it. Stop saying there’s no proof of the connection between CSA and suicide. There is. I can give you names. You want names? I can give you specific cases where the judge has said, “the child support agency played a major part in this death.”

What’s next?

“I want to speak to George Brandis,” he says. “There are desperate people right across the country who know the damage the family courts are doing to lives. How do I know? They call me. I took seven calls just on Saturday from people saying they want to end it. This farcical system is costing lives. The government have to listen. People have had enough. Alienating fathers – it has to stop.”

What’s the number one most important issue?

“We must instate perjury in the Family Court. People have to be punished for lying. That is integral to children’s right too.” Thank you Barry Williams for your unwavering dedication to this cause.

Lone Fathers Association of Australia run programs and family courses. The organisation believes children need their fathers as much as they need their mothers.

We need a means to complain regarding Family Court Judges who lie by omission or show extreme bias

At the moment, the Family Court is open to extreme bias and lies by omission particularly towards fathers openly by the Judges. Some of them include Justice Ryan, Justice Rees. Justice Ryan would openly shield and protect lying mothers, ICLs, and corrupt expert witnesses, omit relevant evidence unfavorable towards the mother .

We need a system where we are allowed to openly publish the names of these judges by linking them to expert witness names, solicitors , ICLs and publishing court transcripts and submissions whilst using pseudonyms. This way we can promote a transparent system for public checks and criticism.

Having dealt with several Judges of the Family Court , I can say they will openly lie by omission and show extreme bias in open Court. This is because they work as a team and cover up each other.

They know there is virtually no means of appeal after you end with the full court as the High Court will only entertain issues of law.

We need to be able to make complains about extreme cases of bias, and lying by omission to an external Court or body that is not influenced by this Court.

Mark, please bring up this issue to the Minister of Justice

Corrine Baraclogh you are a legend……thank you again so sooo much for your steadfast support of the truth and your strength in continuing to expose the family law fraud…….. the system doesnt care about the truth…all they want to do is keep creating and defending their fraudulent narrative…..if as many women committed suicide as men due to family disputes there would be a huge uproar…… i repeat below my experience of the endemic perjury in family ‘law’ and the barristers who support and exploit it……
“after enduring perjury and fraud by my sons mother in the federal court for three and a half years and being intimidated and attacked by childless experts, well paid and well heeled barristers and solicitors – my son asked his mother the following set of questions of his own accord six weeks ago…..he is now nearly nine years old and always stated to all and sundry that he wants to and always has wanted to live with me…….: 1 ) why did you and your partner beat me about the head all the time really hard for all those years , 2 ) why did you make me tell terrible lies about my dad to those people and the experts you made me see , 3 ) why did you tell all those terrible lies about my dad …..and 4 ) why did you do all those terrible things to the people who loved you…..he also said the following before she responded : " my dad is the best dad in the universe and he never hits me and would never hit me like you and your partner did all the time really hard on the back of the head – he protected me from you and your partner for all those years and he forgave me for the lies you made me tell coz he knew you would beat me if i didnt say what you told me to say"….his mother answered to him " i dont know why i did it but i’m sorry …and i promise i will never ever do those terrible things to you again "…. he asked her to prove it by letting him talk on the phone to his dad and let him be with his dad more but she laughed and said see you in court….!!…… so we have the following criminal actions …
1.admission of prolonged mental child abuse
2.admission of prolonged physical child abuse
3.admission of sustained perjury to the Federal Circuit Court
4.admission of fraudulent statements
But when I tell the police they say they cant help me even though perjury is a police criminal matter….even though assault is a police criminal matter…… the system sucks …. they refused to accept the very supporting statements or testimony’s of my two adult children who are women …… the parasites and facilitators who play in family ‘law’ and run it are the real criminals….. its their domain and they know what they are doing – its their special little legal world and they love it….. they intimidate everyone who enters it who cant afford to pay and contest them..…..they know its the children who suffer and they dont care – just as long as they all get well paid for plying their trade and can catch up for drinks and laugh about it over lunch together …. all they are interested in is forcing people to follow their high income earning system … no wonder fathers are suiciding….if were happening to women it would be a current affair overseas trip and a full media circus…..i hope they all burn in hell forever for forcing the children to grow up in the web of their cesspit ……

George Brandis and his predecessors are very aware of the deaths. Decades ago the parliament moved to ensure that no tally’s of the deaths were made. Labor and the Libs Nats are as one on this score.
They are aware and they are working to Paper Over It.

Senate Answer from Hawke’s Labor Government regarding Suicides in the Family Court

(1) How many family law files were closed because of the death of one parent for the 10 years prior to the introduction of the Family Law Act.

(2) How many family law files have been closed because of the death of one parent for each year since the introduction of the Family Law Act.

(3) Of those who have died, how many were custodial parents.

(4) How many were mothers.

(5) How many were fathers.

(6) How many children have died in each year since the introduction of the Family Law Act who were subject to the jurisdiction of the Family Court.

Senator Tate —The Attorney-General has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question:

(1) Jurisdiction in respect of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1959 was exercised by the State and Territory Supreme Courts. Separate records were not kept by those courts in relation to the number of files closed because of the death of one parent. To obtain this information would require a search of thousands of individual files in each Registry of those State and Territory courts and this is not practicable.

(2) Jurisdiction in respect of the Family Law Act 1975 is exercised by the Family Court of Australia, the Family Court of Western Australia and State and Territory Magistrates’ courts. Separate records are not kept in relation to the number of files closed because of the death of one parent. To obtain this information would require a search of thousands of individual files in each Registry of those courts and this is not practicable.

(3) to (5) See answers to question (1) and (2).

(6) Records are not kept in a form that enables this information to be readily extracted. Searches of State and Territory death registries and of thousands of individual court files would be necessary. This is not practicable.

Hawke Labor Governments Response to Questions Regarding Suicides in the Family Court

9 May 1990 Senate Hansard

(Question No. 1439)

Senator Chapman asked the Minister representing the Attorney-General, upon notice, on 21 December 1989:

(2) If no action is currently proposed, will the Attorney-General ensure these statistics are recorded, in view of growing community concern about the possibility of family court-induced, stress-related deaths: if not, why not.

Senator Tate —The Attorney-General has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question:

(1) (a)-(e) No action is proposed by the Attorney-General’s Department to record the statistics requested concerning family law files that will close in future years due to the death of a parent. Following the passage of the Courts and Tribunals Administration Amendment Act 1989 the Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia now has responsibility for the administrative and financial management of the Court. The Chief Justice is required to submit annual reports which are to be laid before each House of the Parliament. Parliament will have the ability to examine those annual reports.

(2) For the reasons given in answer to question 1 (a)-(e), the Attorney-General is not in a position to ensure that the statistics are recorded.

The Civil War, on the Australian public by public employee’s of Our Commonwealth of Australia.

I have the obligation to Defend our Australian Commonwealth and Constitution.
I have the Natural Inalienable Right to Defend myself.
It is my Inalienable Duty to Defend my son and Family.

Preamble

Instead of enjoying life with my young son as he grows, as he wishes to spend time with me and go fishing together.

I find myself fighting organised crime, corruption, the thug army known as the Australian family court and associated services.

My Family is under attack by the Australian federal and family court, judiciary organised crime, political violence, family violence, corruption, treason and terrorism, intentionally violating our Australian Commonwealth Constitution and laws.

The Commonwealth of Australia is attack by the Australian federal and family court, judiciary organised crime, political violence, family violence, corruption, treason and terrorism, intentionally violating our Australian Commonwealth Constitution and laws.

Family Court Australia with no juries and 121 of the Family law act intended to defeat justice, do harm, defraud, terrorism and Treason, intentionally attacking violating our Australian Commonwealth, Constitution and laws.

“The use of domestic violence claims in this instance, where the mother maintained on interview that there was none, would be indicative to any reasonable person that significant power structures were at work opposing one’s reunification with one’s child.”

“Steve maintains’ that he wants everything in writing so that there is a paper trail, and that this request is being disregarded, or even in some cases, faked with alleged ‘backdating’ of letters.
Angry and intemperate outbursts are common in individuals who are under a great deal of stress, which Steve clearly has been for some time.”

“This is particularly to be expected if ‘dirty tricks’ such as backdating letters has, in fact occurred.
Therefore I am of the view that close examination of the chronology to see whether there is a basis for that anger is warranted, as managing contact with parents who have had their time with their child limited is a delicate job and heavy-handed tactics are likely to lead to such incidents.”

Blatant and potentially continuing breaches of laws

[Share This] Time for all Australians to step up. We are looking for Senate candidates, Reps and executives. Time is fast running out, our children won’t have a future; we won’t have a country unless we act now. If you want your country back from the corrupt government, this is how to do it by our direct democracy modelled Commonwealth of Australia Constitution party, where true democracy is the law. We can tick off all the boxes, Exit the UN, Free speech without persecution, Ban Islam in Australia, Australian sales tax for foreign companies, Royal commission into family court corruption, one after another, we have to take government, dominate Parliament. All we need to do is get every member here to sign up two friends, to start our bloodless revolution. [“Share”] FREEMEMBERSHIPhttp://www.cofacparty.com/
